The Parochial Church Council is a corporate body established by the Church of
England. The PCC operates under the Parochial Church Council Powers Measure
registered with the Charity Commission.
The method of appointment of PCC members is set out in the Church
Representation Rules. At St Barnabas, the membership of the PCC consists of an
elected Deanery Synod member, and members elected by those members of the
congregation who are on the electoral roll of the church. All those who attend our
services / members of the congregation are encouraged to register on the
Electoral Roll and stand for election to the PCC.
The PCC members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general
concern and importance to the parish, including deciding on how the fvnds of the
PCC are to be spent. New members are offered and actively encouraged to
undertake initial training into the workings of the PCC provided by the diocese. Since our
entitlement is for 9 elected members, we have I vacancy for elected members.

Ramsay, who now living in Ickenham was finding travelling on Sunday morning
difficult, although she is hoping to still attend the Barney Group. We give thanks
for all their help and encouragement they have given over the years.
We have welcomed some new faces as well as others returning so 2026 should
see an increase in membership.

These receive a mixture of home communions and telephone services from our

situations is provided by our clergy.

are fortunate that there are regular contributions and generous donations
received from past members wanting to continue to support their church. We
give thanks to God for that generous continuing support. but the PCC recognise
that this may not necessarily continue in the long term. The card machine has
made giving simpler for some and has increased to £813 compared to £573 in
2024.
The Plate Collection £2735 a slight reduction compared to 2024.
Gift Aid envelope giving was £650 boosted by some generous lump sum
donations. We are grateful to the donors for their generous donations.

this past year.
At the beginning of the year there were 34 members {30 gift aided their
donations) in the planned giving scheme and the year ended with 33 members

left in April owing over £30.0(Xl in rent. The house was left full of belongings and
rubbish, in a dirty stste. A total refurbishment has taken place at a cost of
£35,000 including a new boiler, wood flooring and carpets. It was then advertised

catering items for their monthly meetings. costs being covered by donations. The
new boiler in the link was paid for by a generous gift aided donation.

cost of our vicar. vicarage. staff training and support costs.
